Fern Forest by Barbara Danzi

Barbara Danzi is a Brooklyn-born, Los Angeles–based textile artist who creates colorful, abstract, wall-hung quilts that explore the relationship between human-built structures and the natural environment. Working improvisationally, she hand-cuts solid-colored fabric with gestural movements and stitches the pieces together so the seam lines read as organic, hand-drawn marks.

Wrapped in cloth from birth, fibers are familiar throughout our lives. By making art from fabric, Danzi connects to the threads of communities and cultures across history, using fiber as both material and metaphor—rich with meaning, texture, and movement.

Barbara merges her engineering degree and design study with her outdoor adventures to create compelling designs based on organic shapes in the natural world. Besides exhibiting her award-winning quilts around the world, Barbara lectures to quilt and fiber art groups and serves as a curator, juror and judge for exhibits. Barbara is a Juried Artist Member of SAQA, the Studio Art Quilt Associates, and a member of Textile Arts Los Angeles, the Textile Study Group of New York, Textile Art Gallery NYC. and Surface Design Associates.
